The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000
Answer:
Drops by 10,000 DVRs
Explanation:
The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by
Q= 250- .25p+4pc
Where
Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers
P represents the price of DVR
pc represents the price of cable television
Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce
If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by
= 0.25×40×1000
= 10×1000
= 10,000 units
Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40
Assume the Macro Islands can produce 25 fishing boats or 150 jars of guava jelly in one hour. The Micro Islands can produce 30 fishing boats or 300 jars of guava jelly in the same time period. This data tells an economist that:________. a. the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. b. the Micro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have an absolute advantage in producing guava jelly. c. the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. d. the Micro Islands have a comparative in producing fishing boats and the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly. the Micro Islands have a comparative and absolute advantage in producing fishing boats.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats and the Micro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing guava jelly.
Explanation:
To begin with the term of ''comparative advantage'' is refer to the quality of one country in comparison with another to produce in a better way, a more eficient way, a good. Therefore that when a country has a comparative advantage over another country it means that the first country can produce more of a good with less resources that the second country.
That is why, that the Macro Islands have a comparative advantage in producing fishing boats over the Micro islands due to the fact that there is a very little difference with the other country meanwhile the Micro Islands have a comparative advatange in the production of guava jelly due to the amount of goods that it can produce in the same amount of time with the great amount difference in comparison with the Macro Islands. Therefore that one country chooses to produce the good in which it is better in comparison with the other.

As you negotiate with a potential employer, you ask for an additional $3,000 in annual salary. The employer asks why you why you want this increase, and learns that you need to begin repaying a student loan. The employer states that he cannot increase your salary, but that his company can assume your loan at a 0% interest rate. In this example, the employer has identified your . . .?
Answer:
Employer has identified your Interest.
Explanation:
During any course of negotiation, parties have two sets of interests to consider: personal interests and the interests of the other side (employer).
Interests are a party's underlying reasons, values or motivations. It explains why someone is trying to take a particular position.
From the question, an increase in salary by $3000 is needed to pay off student loan. This is the point of interest. The employer identifies this and offers to assume the loan at 0% interest rate instead.
Walter, a single taxpayer, purchased a limited partnership interest in a tax shelter in 1993. He also acquired a rental house in 2019, which he actively manages. During 2019, Walter's share of the partnership's losses was $30,000, and his rental house generated $20,000 in losses. Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses is $130,000.
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?
1. The unused losses may be carried.
2. tax years to reduce.
3. income in those years.
Answer:
A. $10,000
B. $0
C. The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Explanation:
A. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for rental house activities for 2017.
Excess of Walter's modified adjusted gross income before passive losses over $100,000 = $130,00 - $100,000 = $30,000
Allowable deductions = $25,000 - ($30,000 * 50%) = $10,000.
It should be noted that 50 cents, used as 50% above, for each dollar the tax payers modified adjusted gross income exceeds $100,000 is deducted from$25,000 to arrive at allowable deductions. However, there will not be allowable deduction in the case that the modified adjusted gross income is greater $150,000.
B. Calculate the amount of Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017.
Walter is eligible for allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017. Therefore, Walter's allowable deduction for the partnership losses for 2017 is $0.
C. What may be done with the unused losses, if anything?
1. The unused losses may be carried forward to future
2. tax years to reduce passive
3. income in those years.
Therefore, this can be joined together as follows:
The unused losses may be carried forward to future tax years to reduce passive income in those years.
Copper Corporation, a calendar year C corporation, owns stock in Bronze Corporation and has net operating income of $900,000 for the current year. Bronze Corporation pays Copper a dividend of $150,000. What amount of dividends received deduction may Copper claim if it owns 85% of Bronze stock (and the two corporations are members of the same affiliated group)? (Assume Copper's dividends received deduction is not limited by its taxable income.)
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Copper Corporation
The amount of dividends received deduction will tend to depends upon the ownership percentage by the corporate shareholder.
Therefore in a situation where Copper Corporation is said to owns only 85% of what Bronze Corporation had, Copper Corporation definitely qualify for a percentage of 100 deduction or a total amount of $150,000.if we have to based on the above information given because Bronze Corporation pays Copper Corporation a dividend of $150,000.
You have $13,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 8 percent. Assume your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 11.45 percent. How much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y
Answer:
You should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.
Explanation:
These can be estimated as follows:
PER = (ERX * wX) + (ERY * wY) ....................... (1)
Where,
PER = Portfolio expected return = 11.45%, or 0.1145
ERX = Expected return of X = 13%, or 0.13
ERY = Expected retun of Y = 8%, or 0.08
wX = Weight of X = ?
wY = Weight of Y = 1 - wX = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
0.1145 = [0.13 * wX] + [0.08 * (1 - wX)]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + [0.08 - 0.08wX]
0.1145 = 0.13wX + 0.08 - 0.08wX
0.1145 - 0.08 = 0.13wX - 0.08wX
0.0345 = 0.05wX
wX = 0.0345 / 0.05
wX = 0.69
Since wY = 1 - wX
Therefore,
wY = 1 - 0.69
wY = 0.31
Total amount to invest = $13,000
Investment in stock X = Amount to invest * 0.69 = $13,000 * 0.69 = $8,970
Investment in stock Y = Amount to invest * 0.31 = $13,000 * 0.31 = $4.030
Therefore, you should invest $8,970 in stock X and $4,030 in stock Y.

Two mutually exclusive investment opportunities require an initial investment of $10 million. Investment A pays $1.5 million per year in perpetuity, while investment B pays $1.2 million in the first year, with cash flows increasing by 3% per year after that. At what cost of capital would an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent?
Answer: 15%
Solving this would require finding the rate/cost of capital that gives both investments the same present value.
Investment 1
Investment 1 is a perpetuity which means that it's present value can be calculated as,
= Amount/rate
= 1,500,000/r
Investment 2
Investment 2 pays $1,200,000 in the first year and then grows at a rate of 3% every year afterwards.
The Present Value of such can be calculated with the following equation,
= Amount / ( rate/cost of capital - growth rate)
= 1,200,000 / ( r - 3%)
To find the Rate that gives both figures the same Present Value, simply equate them.
1,500,000/r = 1,200,000 / (r - 3%)
1,500,000(r - 3% ) = 1,200,000r
1,500,000r - 45,000 = 1,200,000r
300,000r = 45,000
r = 45,000/300,000
r= 0.15
r = 15%
At 15% an investor regard both opportunities as being equivalent.
Solve accepted a 60-day, 9 percent note from Pete Houghton in settlement of his past-due account for $6,000. On April 9, Westwood Company discounted the note at the First National Bank. The bank charged a discount rate of 12 percent. What is the amount of the proceeds
Missing information:
The note was accepted on March 10
Answer:
$6,029.10
Explanation:
in order to answer the question, I assumed a 360 day year, so 60 days = 2/12 of a year
the note's value on maturity date = principal + accrued interest = $6,000 + ($6,000 x 9% x 2/12) = $6,000 + $90 = $6,090
bank charges = note's value on maturity date x discount rate x 30 days = $6,090 x 12% x 1/12 = $60.90
net proceeds = $6,090 - $60.90 = $6,029.10
Juan acquires a new 5-year class asset on March 14, 2018, for $200,000. This is the only asset Juan acquired during the year. He does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. He does not claim any available additional first-year depreciation. On July 15, 2019, Juan sells the asset.
a. Determine Juan’s cost recovery for 2017.
b. Determine Juan’s cost recovery for 2018.
Answer:
A. $40,000

the transaction carried out at the time that their client has paid the invoice given to him or her in the cost of the transaction.
Asset acquired =$200,000
Tax rate =20%
Hence:
$200,000×0.2
= $40,000
B.
Asset acquired = $200,000
Tax rate =32%
Hence:
$200,000×0.32
= $32,000
You recently received a letter from Cut-to-the-Chase National Bank that offers you a new credit card that has no annual fee. It states that the annual percentage rate (APR) is 16 percent on outstanding balances. What is the effective annual interest rate?
Answer:
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%
Explanation:
The Effective annual rate of return is the equivalent rate earned where compounding is done frequently at period or interval less than a year.
EAR = (1+r/m)^n× m - 1
EAR - Equivalent annual rate of return, r- annul rate of return, n-number of years
r= 16/12 =1.333%, n= 1 m= 12 (note there are 12 months in a year)
EAR = (1+0.16/12)^(1×12) - 1
EAR = 1.0133^12 - 1 = 0.1722
EAR 0.1722 × 100 = 17.22%
Effect Annual rate of return =17.22%

You buy a share of The Ludwig Corporation stock for $21.40. You expect it to pay dividends of $1.07, $1.1449, and $1.2250 in Years 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and you expect to sell it at a price of $26.22 at the end of 3 years.
A. Calculate the growth rate in dividends.
B. Calculate the expected dividend yield .
C. Assuming the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to get the expected total rate of return. What is the stock
Answer:
A. the growth rate in dividends = 7.00%
B. Expected dividend yield = 4.67%
C. Stock's xpected total rate of return = 11.67%
Explanation:
A. Calculate the growth rate in dividends
Current dividend growth rate = (Current year dividend - Previous year dividend) / Previous year dividend
Therefore,
Year 2 dividend growth rate = ($1.1449 - $1.07) / $1.07 = 0.0700, or 7.00%
Year 3 dividend growth rate = ($1.2250 - $1.1449) / $1.1449 = 0.0700, or 7.00%
This shows that;
Year 2 dividend growth rate = Year 3 dividend growth rate = 7.00%
B. Calculate the expected dividend yield
Dividend yield = Dividend per share / Market price per share
Therefore,
Expected dividend yield = Expected dividend per share in year 3 / Expected market price per share in year 3 = $1.2250 / $26.22 = 0.0467, or 4.67%
C. Assuming the calculated growth rate is expected to continue, you can add the dividend yield to the expected growth rate to get the expected total rate of return. What is the stock
Note: The complete statement is "What is this stock’s expected total rate of return?"
Stock's xpected total rate of return = Growth rate + Expected dividend yield in 3 = 7.00% + 4.67% = 11.67%.
What is fixed and variable cost?
Answer:
Okay, so fixed costs are costs that are consistant in their price (buildings, rent, machinery, etc.). Variable costs are costs that change based on production (wages, materials, utilities, etc.).
Hope this helps :)

You believe that the Non-Stick Gum Factory will pay a dividend of $2 on its common stock next year. Thereafter, you expect dividends to grow at a rate of 5% a year in perpetuity. If you require a return of 12% on your investment, how much should you be prepared to pay for the stock
Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Dividend growth model can only be used in a situation where the firm pays a dividend which can tend to grow at constant rates reason been that the stock has been influenced by the growth rates which is involved in the dividends which means the firm can increase the dividends.
Therefore the Dividend that is to be paid next year will be:
$2Growth rates
5 %Rates of return
12% Return on Investment
Formular for the calculation of current price of the stock = D1/(r-g)
Where:
D1=2%
r=12%
g=6%
Hence:
2/ (0.12-0.05)= $ 33.33
=2/0.07
=$28.57
Therefore the amount I should be prepared to pay for the stock today will be $28.57
A perfectly elastic demand function A. shows that a consumer is willing to pay any amount for the product. B. has a marginal revenue that is always decreasing. C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. D. shows that the individual firm can increase sales by lowering the price of output.
Answer:
C. is characteristic of an individual firm operating in a perfectly competitive market.
Explanation:
Demand is perfectly elastic if the coefficient of elasticity is infinite. It means thay consumers would only buy at one price. Once that price changes, demand falls to zero.
A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.
If a seller decides to increase the price of his good in a perfect competition, demand falls to zero and reducing price woild lead to losses.

Answer:
Risk is higher if a company has more assets.
Explanation:
All of the following statements are true and correct;
1. Higher financial leverage involves higher risk.
2. Risk is higher if a company has more liabilities.
3. The debt ratio is one measure of financial risk.
4. Lower financial leverage involves lower risk.
However, it is false and an absolutely incorrect to say risk is higher if a company has more assets.
A company having more assets would have a debt ratio less than one (1) because it has many assets to fund it's business. Thus, the company would have little or no debts and as such, it's risk portfolio is very low.
Hence, risk is lower if a company has more assets.

Target profit is $100,000; fixed overhead costs are $120,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs are $50,000. If total variable cost is $675,000, the markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method is %. Round your answer to the nearest whole percent
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
The markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method can be obtained by dividing the addition of the target profit and total fixed cost by the total variable cost as follows:
Total fixed cost = Fixed overhead costs + Fixed selling and administrative costs = $120,000 + $50,00 = $170,000
The markup percentage to the variable cost = (Target profit + Total fixed cost) / Total variable cost = ($100,000 + $170,000) / $675,000 = $270,000 / $675,000 = 0.40, or 40%.
Therefore, the markup percentage to the variable cost using the variable cost method is 40%.
Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr. Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr. Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr. Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr. Hayford die. Mr. Hayford would like to insure Mr. Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Question:
Mr. Isaac is lending Gh₵20000 to Mr Hayford, to be repaid over five years. Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die. Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
(a) What is the extent of insurable interest in each case?
(b) Consider any necessary action if the loan was later repaid earlier than anticipated what happens to the policy?
Answer:
To answer the question (a), one must first understand the concept of Insurable Interest.
A policyholder is said to have an insurable interest in a subject matter whenever the subject matter of a contract provides some financial gain to them and would lead to a financial loss if damaged, destroyed, stolen or lost.
For example, if I purchase a car for my use for $10,000, theft of or damage to that car will translate to financial loss to me. Therefore, I have an insurance interest in the car. This qualified me to Insure the car against loss arising from any form of insurable damage, or theft.
In question (a) there are two cases.
Case I - Mr Isaac would like to effect a policy on Mr Hayford’s life to cover the loan should Mr Hayford die.
Mr Isaac, in this case, has full insurable interest on Mr Hayfords life. If Mr Hayford dies, Mr Isaac will be put in a financial loss to the tune of Gh₵20000.
Case II - Mr Hayford would like to insure Mr Isaac’s life just in case he dies and the beneficiaries of his will insist that the loan be repaid early.
Mr Hayford does an insurable interest on Mr Isaac's life. This insurable interest arises due to the possibility (as given in the question) that Isaacs family have the power to request for the loan earlier than it ought to have been paid.
The insurable interest arises because paying back the loan earlier than anticipated, may put Mr Hayford in financial distress and may lead to financial and economic loss. If the loan is meant for the running of his business, the business may fold up, and he may forfeit all the assets of the business.
In a real-life scenario, this can all be prevented by ensuring that the terms of the loan are documented in a contract which must be ratified by both parties. In this contract, clauses preventing the lender from cutting short the tenure of the loan can be inserted. This is less expensive and easier to administer.
(b) In each of the cases above, if the loan is paid back earlier than anticipated:
i. Under duress from the family: The provision of the policy protecting the interest of Mr. Hayford kicks in and makes good the loss to mitigate it and terminates afterwards.
ii. By volition by Mr Hayford: The policy terminates immediately as the insurable interest he has on Mr Isaac's life becomes extinct.

A decrease in operating expenses would have which of the following effects on a company's profit margin? Multiple Choice There is not enough information given to determine the effect. Net profit margin would increase. Net profit margin would decrease. Net profit margin would remain unchanged.
Answer: Net profit margin would increase.
Explanation:
A company's net profit margin is the Net Profit divided by Revenue. Net Profit is derived by subtracting some expenses and liabilities from the Revenue such as Cost of Goods as well as operating expenses.
If operating expenses were to reduce therefore, there would be less subtractions from the revenue. The would translate to a higher Net Profit and when that is then divided by the Revenue, it will give a higher Net Profit Margin.
You are upgrading to better production equipment for your firm's only product. The new equipment will allow you to make more of your product in the same amount of time. Thus, you forecast that total sales will increase next year by 16 % over the current amount of 102 comma 000 units. If your sales price is $ 19 per unit, what are the incremental revenues next year from the upgrade?
Answer:
$310,080
Explanation:
Incremental revenue refers to the additional revenue generated by a certain project or activity. In this case, your sales should increase by 16% from 102,000 units to 118,320 units. Total revenue will increase from $1,938,000 (= 102,000 x $19) to $2,248,080 (= 118,320 x $19).
The incremental revenue = $2,248,080 - $1,938,000 = $310,080
Maple Aircraft has issued a convertible bond at 4.75% interest due 2020. The market price of the convertible is 93% of face value (face value is $1,000). The conversion price is $45. Assume that the value of the bond in the absence of a conversion feature is about 63% of face value. How much is the convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock?
Answer:
The convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock is $13.63
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Value of convertible bond=93%*1,000=$930
Value of straight bond=63%*1,000=$630
Value of warrants=$300
Hence, number of warrants per bond=$1,000/$45
number of warrants per bond=22
Therefore, price of one warrant=$300/22
price of one warrant=$13.63
The convertible holder paying for the option to buy one share of common stock is $13.63
Frances loves shopping for clothes, but considering the state of the economy, she has decided to start saving. At the end of each year, she will deposit $700 in her local bank, which pays her 9% annual interest. Frances decides that she will continue to do this for the next 5 years. Frances’s savings are an example of an annuity. How much will she save by the end of 5 years, rounded to the nearest whole dollar?
Answer:
Future Value= $4,189.30
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Investment= $700 annual
Interest rate= 9%
Frances decides that she will continue to do this for the next 5 years.
To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {700*[(1.09^5)-1]} / 0.09
FV= $4,189.30
